Roll them, turn them, bolt them: °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ assembly in high definition
The arrival of the first components on the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site will be the starter pistol for one of the most complex stage shows ever performed: the assembly of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ machine. In a first video back in 2011——we explained the challenging task of assembling the cryostat.
In a new video titled Roll them, turn them, bolt them, the job is taken one step further as we look at the installation of °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ's in-vessel components such as the in-vessel coils, the blanket system and the divertor. None of these are easy tasks and a set of custom-made tools, platforms and cranes will be needed to transfer the bulky components from the Assembly Building, through port cells and into their final positions.
